Hello, my name is Allison, Megan created me. The Discovery Center is really fun. It is also a good place to learn a lot of new stuff. You have fun every time you go there. Mr. May is the teacher, and he is really fun! I enjoy learning. I am on a mission to learn about the future. I think the future will be very fun!

PROBLEM:
How Do We Build a Catapult?
ASK:
What is Our Challenge?
The Angry Bird Competition is on … Angry Bird and Piggy Friends unite! To retrieve your stolen eggs, Angry Birds, your team will need to build a catapult with only the materials provided to you, as outlined in the following steps of this “Small Group Challenge: Marshmallow Catapults”:
Challenge: Each group will design and build a marshmallow catapult using the following materials: 1 meter of masking tape; 2 plastic cups; 4 rubber bands; 2 plastic spoons; 2 paper clips; 15 cm x 15 cm piece of cardboard; large (standard size) and small (mini size) marshmallows to launch. Goal: Launch a marshmallow at least 5 meters (in the air) and not outside of a ½ meter width. What is a Catapult?

A catapult is a weapon used a long time ago, because they did not have guns. A catapult gets its energy from a wheel and a rope. The materials I would use to build my own catapult are a rope and wheels.
IMAGINE:
What are Some Solutions?
What is the Best Possible Solution?
Why did Our Team Choose This Solution?
PLAN:
What is a Diagram / Orthographic Design of Our Prototype?
CREATE:
What does Our Finished Construct Look Like?
IMPROVE:
What works, what doesn't work, and what could work better from Our Testing?
What are We going to do to address the Challenges We Faced with Our Construct?

How do We Catapult Ourselves into Problem Based Learning?
